These functions place characters and renditions from the current or specified
window into the array pointed to by <i>chstr</i>, starting at the current or
specified position and ending at the end of the line.
<p>
The
<i>inchnstr()</i>,
<i>mvinchnstr()</i>,
<i>mvwinchnstr()</i>
and
<i>winchnstr()</i>
functions store at most <i>n</i> elements from the current or specified window
into the array pointed to by <i>chstr</i>.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_002_001_490">&nbsp;</a>RETURN VALUE</h4><blockquote>
Upon successful completion, these functions return OK.
Otherwise, they return ERR.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_002_001_491">&nbsp;</a>ERRORS</h4><blockquote>
No errors are defined.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_002_001_492">&nbsp;</a>APPLICATION USAGE</h4><blockquote>
Reading a line that overflows the array pointed to by <i>chstr</i> with
<i>inchstr()</i>,
<i>mvinchstr()</i>,
<i>mvwinchstr()</i>
or
<i>winchstr()</i>
causes undefined results.  The use of
<i>inchnstr()</i>,
<i>mvinchnstr()</i>,
<i>mvwinchnstr()</i>
or
<i>winchnstr()</i>,
respectively, is recommended.
